I cannot promise it for tonight as I'm helping my father reinstall ubuntu. (he lives in Mexico, I live in Canada) so it's all over the phone._________________http://rarsa.blogspot.com Covering my eclectic thoughts

From a Linux Netbook with a wireless (Bluetooth) headset I'd like to be able to access a Linux computer - which is connected to my 2-way radio (Amateur Radio) via a CAT connection running "flrig" a Linux-based rig control app. and operate it (that means audio in and out plus control signals in and out).

It needs to be secure so no one can get on the air illegally.

It needs to work whether I am, at the Netbook point, connected to the Internet via a Wifi, Cell-modem, or hardwire lan.

WDYT?

Why not?...as long as you can ping it. re: security, you have a password, for what that's worth:

Maybe I'm missing something, but you actually need a RDP server to connect to. There is xrdp available for Linux, but I don't think anyone is running it on Puppy (yet), so it might be easier to use VNC instead._________________Do you know a good gtkdialog program? Please post a link here

I see Gpptp but that and other VPN's all seem to refer to connecting to MS version of windows boxes from Linux rather than Linux-to-Linux.

Is Gpptp what I should be looking at for the VPN method you are describing (it's in Lucid 5.1) or some other version of VPN, please?_________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

What sort of resources (hardware and Internet throughput) are required at each end?

Their Web page mentions SSL Tunneling, is that important for security?

Does it matter how one is connected to the Internet at each end?

Do both computers have to be dedicated to this task at both ends or may tightVNC be run as one among multiple apps?_________________Thanks! DavidHome page: http://nevils-station.comDon't googleSearch!http://duckduckgo.com

Looks like I will soon have reason to use Puppy again, if I can get Rdesktop working. I am looking at Lucid and NOP 431. Does anyone have Rdesktop working with either of these and if so, what did you install it from. Hard to believe that this doesn't come with Puppy by now. I guess I my computing needs have moved well out of the Puppy demographic, but if I have not had much love for computing since I had to start using other operating systems. I would love to get Rdesktop and tight VNC going, so I can get back to my favorite OS.

I followed the RDESKTOP debate through the threads but when installing rdesktop on wary 5.1.1 I get from the repository only vanilla rdesktop.
Works OK as I have created a folder full of console scripts for each desktop but would be far better with a GUI.
Is this old version useable and available with Puppy 5
